Default Same thing happened

I have a 1990 Ultra Classic, last weekend rode for about 75 miles, turned bike off for a smoke break, bike would not start back up, took headlight out shook wires and it started right up, managed to get back home, took off front Faring and got chasing wires, unplugged every connection cleaned, put dielectric grease of pins, . Replaced all fuses under the faring,and replaced the 30amp as well. Found two wires that was green,corroded, recut and made new connection, . My voltage gauge went from while running from 11 to about 13 which was a big approvement , my headlamp and passing lights are very bright. I rode it around neighbor hood and it did fine, I am planning a long ride Sunday and hope the bike runs without problems.
